Tragically, the monkey/pig hybrids weren’t the genetic monstrosities you might have hoped for, with embarrassingly low “monkey cell ratios between 0.001–0.0001 among different tissues,” according to the report. That means they were less ManBearPig and more what you’d call “just pigs, basically.” Even more tragically, both chimeras were reported to have died within a week, with the cause currently unknown and possibly connected to the in vitro fertilization process used to create the adorable slights against nature. Still, the researchers were optimistic about their findings, saying that they could eventually “pave the way toward overcoming the obstacles in the re-engineering of heterogeneous organs and achieve the ultimate goal of human organ reconstruction in a large animal.” The possibilities are endless. Interspecies organ transplantation is only the beginning. By the year 2030, maybe we’ll finally have cows that grow chicken nuggets or a reasonably priced way to replace the lower half of the human body with kangaroo legs. Bill Nye was right. Science rules.
